Microbial degradation of plant toxins

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 2988-3010, December 2023., 2023
Plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites. This review summarizes the knowledge on microbial degradation of those metabolites with a focus on the genes and enzymes involved in the biodegradation pathways. Knowledge gaps and possible biotechnological applications of plant metabolite degrading microorganisms are highlighted.

Roles and implications of mRNA N6‐methyladenosine in cancer

Cancer Communications, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 729-748, July 2023., 2023
Abstract RNA N6‐methyladenosine modification is the most prevalent internal modification of eukaryotic RNAs and has emerged as a novel field of RNA epigenetics, garnering increased attention. To date, m6A modification has been shown to impact multiple RNA metabolic processes and play a vital role in numerous biological processes.

Adaptive genetic traits in pelagic freshwater microbes

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 3, Page 606-641, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Pelagic microbes have adopted distinct strategies to inhabit the pelagial of lakes and oceans and can be broadly categorized in two groups: free‐living, specialized oligotrophs and patch‐associated generalists or copiotrophs. In this review, we aim to identify genomic traits that enable pelagic freshwater microbes to thrive in their habitat ...

Metabolism of sumatriptan revisited

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 11, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Proposed metabolic pathway of sumatriptan. Abstract Scientific literature describes that sumatriptan is metabolized by oxidative deamination of its dimethylaminoethyl residue by monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) and not by cytochrome P450 (CYP)‐mediated demethylation, as is usual for such structural elements.

Unexpected Dual Function of Plant YUCCA Enzymes Links Chlorophyll Catabolism to Auxin Homeostasis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
YUCCA enzymes are well known to catalyze the main step of auxin biosynthesis in plants. Here, a hitherto undescribed dual function was discovered, revealing that some YUCCAs also act in chlorophyll degradation. In vitro feedback regulation furthermore suggests a link between chlorophyll degradation and hormone homeostasis and a physiological role of ...

Heterologous plastoquinone production using a newly identified O2‐dependent cyanobacterial hydroxylase

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we confirm that PlqH is the hydroxylase operating in plastoquinone biosynthesis in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (Cyanobacteriia). Our phylogenetic analyses demonstrate that cyanobacterial PlqH homologues originated from hydroxylases involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in bacteria. Plastoquinone production in Escherichia coli was achieved

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

Arabidopsis root lipid droplets are hubs for membrane homeostasis under heat stress, and triterpenoid synthesis and storage

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 892-916, January 2026.
Summary Plant lipid droplets (LDs) and their associated proteins have numerous subcellular and physiological functions. While considerable progress has been made for LDs in many tissues, the function and composition of LDs in roots remain largely unexplored.

Mitochondrial Quality Control in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2025.
Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) maintains cellular homeostasis by coordinating various processes such as fission, fusion, mitophagy, and mitochondria‐regulated cell death. Dysregulation of these mechanisms plays a key role in the development of many human diseases.

Characteristic, Regulation and Targeting Strategies of Cancer Stem Cells and Their Niche in Digestive System Tumors

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
Cancer stem cells, characterized by self‐renewal, differentiation, heterogeneity, plasticity and tumorigenicity, are regulated by intrinsic factors such as signaling pathways, transcription factors, metabolism and noncoding RNAs, as well as environmental cells (including tumor cells, immune cells and stromal cells), environmental factors and distant ...
